Vedanta is the science of life. It shows us the gateway to peace and happiness. To understand this subtle science, knowledge of certain terms and concepts is mandatory. That is why we have prakarana-granthas or introductory books which explain the definitions of the special terms used in our sastras.

Bhagavan Sankaracharya’s Atmabodha is one such text. It is a scientific journey, throwing light on the subtle concepts present in our sastras. With striking examples and ingenioius poetry he guides the reader along the path of Vedanta terminology.

The fundamentals of Vedanta are indicated in 31 simple but powerful verses. Adi Shankara ruthlessly dissects the shell of thoughtlessness veiling the glory of man. He points to the wretchedness of the state of one who is spiritually ignorant and shows the path to redemption.
